McConnell: Trump team 'in the process of figuring out' how to deal with Russia

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The top Senate Republican says the Trump
campaign was confused about Russia's intentions but the
administration is figuring out that Russia is "never up to any
good."

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had harsh words for the Russians
and their role in Syria during a session with reporters in his
home state of Kentucky on Wednesday. McConnell's criticism comes
as Rex Tillerson makes his first visit to Russia as secretary of
state.

Asked about Russia's involvement in Syria, McConnell said: "The
one thing you can be sure about with the Russians is they're
never up to any good, and they're not our friends."

McConnell said the Trump team "may have been somewhat confused
about it during the campaign, but I think they're in the process
of figuring that out."
